Devotional Reflection

Did you know that Jesus is not only our Savior but also our brother? In a few verses, the Holy Spirit says, "He had to be made like his brothers." We were God's lost children, so Jesus came and took on our mortality, our human skin with all its limits, so that He could defeat our worst enemy, the evil death-maker, Satan. Death no longer has a hold on us because our big brother has beaten it and gone to prepare our place at the Father's side!

Prayer

Thank you, Almighty God, for sending Your Son to live among us and become like me. I feel small in comparison to Your sacrifice and His love, but then I remember that Jesus' gift has now made me Your child and He is now my older brother. I find it difficult on occasion, Abba Father, to wait for our family reunion. Please utilize me to spread the word about Your family, Your love, and Your Son until that wonderful reunion day! In Jesus' precious name, I pray. Amen.
